The Boy and the Heron

Somewhat controversial, as not everyone will find this film enjoyable, but it's my favorite Ghibli film that I've watched. I loved the message behind it, and partly because I watched this at a time when I really needed it. I love a story that centers around letting go, death, and life. If you are looking for a fun, whimsical adventure like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, this might not be your thing. I also love Spinning Globe the theme song for the movie.
